About the Plant Resistance Session
Plants possess various mechanisms to resist the adverse effects of their environment. Plant resistance is a process in which plants are able to survive and thrive in the presence of a particular pest or pathogen. Plants develop resistance through the production of defensive compounds, the formation of physical barriers, and the induction of immune responses. Defensive compounds such as alkaloids, phenolics, and terpenoids are produced by plants to resist the effects of pests and pathogens. Physical barriers, such as thick cuticles, waxes, and hairs, can also provide protection against pests and pathogens. Finally, plants can induce an immune response, such as the production of reactive oxygen species, in response to a potential threat. All of these mechanisms enable plants to survive and thrive in a hostile environment. Plant resistance is an important factor in the success of many crops and can help to reduce losses due to pests and diseases.
